I like fan theories. I’ve liked them for a long time. But I think it’s crucial for any fan theorist to embrace the ideas put forth by Roland Barthes in his 1967 essay “The Death of the Author”. Specifically, the idea that it is not up to the author to interpret their text but that, once put into the universe, an author loses the ability to explain the meaning of their work.

Quotes by D.F. Lovett (?)

“I heard the stories of the storytellers, telling the stories people wanted to hear. Everyone finds the narrative that matches the narrative they already know and want. It wasn't that I didn't want to share the truth. It wasn't that I feared the response. It was that I no longer believed in a truth.”
― D.F. Lovett, The Moonborn
